[2] It was recorded during two sold-out shows at the Chain Reaction music venue in Anaheim, California between March 27—28, 2013.

[7] The album features seventeen live cuts from the two dates, as well as three new studio tracks that were recorded by Paul Miner and mixed by Kyle Black.

[13] Promotion of the album continued as the band toured South America in January 2012,[14] before headlining the 2012 Kerrang!

[22][23] In January 2013, AbsolutePunk announced that the band would be recording their first live album over two nights at the Chain Reaction music venue in Anaheim, California between March 27–28.

[25] An incentive for fans attending over the two nights would be each individual would have their photograph taken and included in a collage for the album art.

[25][26] The first of two live shows was held on March 27, but was interrupted after Chad Gilbert received an electric shock on stage by a microphone.

[27] In an interview with Alternative Press, the band revealed that during the initial editing stage of post-production, they had intended to leave the moment of the zap in the recording amongst other between-song banter.

"[27] Because of the incident on March 27, the majority of material used for the album was taken from the second night of recording after Gilbert had used a specially requested wireless microphone.

"I Want to Believe", "Connect the Dots", and "First Bite" were tracked at Buzzbomb Sound Labs in Orange, California with Paul Miner and Kyle Black.

[27] The guitarist explained, "There is a reason why they are a little bit more energetic, because we’re on that tour and it’s just wild and we’re playing and you just start writing.

This makes for a live album that not only appeals to longtime fans, but feels like the best greatest-hits compilation a new listener could ask for.
